You are what you do, not what you think. There's no "I'm going to be a writer." If you've written something today, then you're a writer.

Write every day. Someone told me at the start of my career that if you can write 1,000 words a day then that's 356,000 words a year: or three books. Way more than most authors achieve. So start by writing just 250 words EVERY day and get into the habit. After all, "Excellence is not a gift, it's a habit." (Aristotle.)
Getting published is a different story and requires smart marketing and self-promotion - whether you go to a publishing house, agent or self-publish. Keep the faith, believe in yourself, and KEEP GOING.
